Fraudulent billing via email.
I received a suspicious email telling me my comcast/xfinity contract had expired. It directed me to send an exorbitant sum to reinstate. Since it is purporting to be your company, I wanted someone there to see the email I received. But there is no obvious "Fraud Reporting" link on the website.

To report a scam email to Comcast, follow the "Report Spam and Phishing Emails" link on https://internetsecurity.xfinity.com/help/report-abuse/ and scroll down to the "Report Phishing Emails" section.
Samples of recent phishing messages can be found at https://internetsecurity.xfinity.com/help/alerts/ under "Top Phishing Scams".

If you log into webmail [connect.xfinity.com] and you see an email from Comcast/Xfinity, you should see the verified Xfinity logo in the email when you open it up. https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/comcast-verified-email
An email purporting to be from Comcast/Xfinity that doesn't have that logo is a spam/phishing email. @BruceW gave you excellent links.
The email you received is most likely not "fraudulent" per se but rather a phishing email.

Piggy-backing off @Again and @BruceW, we do have a system to report suspected phishing or spam emails. The links BruceW provided are the correct ones for this sort of request.
When reporting spam emails, it is critical that you send us the email headers. Please do not forward the spam email. Forwarding the email will remove the original headers.
